TL;DR: Halloysite is natural tubular clay suitable as a component of biocompatible nanosystems with specific functionalities as discussed by the authors, and the selective modification of halloysite inner/outer surfaces can be achieved by exploiting supramolecular and covalent interactions resulting in controlled colloidal stability adjusted to the solvent polarity.

TL;DR: C ceramic core-shell materials based on abundant halloysite clay nanotubes with enhanced heavy metal ions loading through Schiff base binding with high surface area providing a good support for catalytic nanoparticles, and can also be used for sorption of metal ions from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: Halloysite is a natural tubular aluminosilicate clay of ca. 50 nm diameter and 0.5-1.5 micrometers in length as mentioned in this paper. And nanoarchitectural modification of halloysite inner/outer surfaces can be achieved t...

TL;DR: Halloysite tubular nanoclay was applied as a template for synthesis of ruthenium core-shell composite catalysts for the first time; 50 nm diameter ceramic tubular systems with metal seeded interiors were produced.

TL;DR: An efficient and easily scalable photocatalyst with CdS nanoparticles placed on the outer surface and inside halloysite clay nanotubes with cadmium sulfide content of ca. 3 wt % was developed as discussed by the authors.
